Section 5: Preparing the Lift
Adjustable Ratchet Straps:
Your powered mobility lift includes
retractable tie-down straps to secure your powerchair or scooter for
transport. These straps pull out and attach to a tie-down point on
the opposite side of the mobility lift.
Ratchet straps attach directly to the carrier frame with the included
nuts and bolts.
Caution:
Check straps between uses for fraying or issues that may
render the strap unable to secure the powerchair in place. Please
contact DiscountRamps.com for a replacement if the retractable
straps ever become unfit for securing a mobility device on the lift.
Always secure straps to the tie-down points on the mobility lift platform. Do not attach tie-
down straps directly to the powerchair or scooter.

Section 6: Safety Lift Arm Operation
Put the lift arms in the downward position when raising
the platform completely into a vertical alignment for
storage or travel without a powerchair or scooter.
For all other uses, keep the lift arms in the upward
position.
A lever located beside the lift arms controls/locks their
position, which can be operated by pulling outward
and twisting.
Caution: For your safety it is recommended to
keep the lift power box turned OFF while adjusting
the lift arm position.
To operate the lift after the arms are in the desired po-
sition, turn the key to the ON position, then press and
hold the toggle switch in the UP or DOWN position.
USING THE LIFT
Always be sure your powerchair or scooter is properly
secured to the platform by using the integrated tie-
down straps and tie-down points BEFORE lifting.
IMPORTANT: ONLY LOWER THE PLATFORM UNTIL IT TOUCHES THE GROUND. DO NOT
CONTINUE TO LOWER THE PLATFORM AFTER IT HAS TOUCHED THE GROUND. THIS MAY
CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE LIFT MOTOR, VEHICLE HITCH, VEHICLE SUSPEN-
SION, OR RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
